Digital Marketing for Sports Brands
The sports industry is a personal love of mine, with the work I have done within this field coming outside of my professional career and more into my personal life and side projects I have worked on.
Digital Marketing for Luxury Brands
Digital marketing for luxury brands is vastly different from other types of brands. Luxury consumers search in different ways, consume content differently and have different paths to conversion.

I highly recommend Joe and his team, the best in the game.Posted on Google Amelia Peckham We have been working with Verde for over a year and they never cease to impress, our organic search traffic and sales have sky rocketed. With organic social becoming increasingly prominent it's easy to think you can get away without SEO but Joe and the team have proven every single part of the business benefits from strong SEO, not to mention our revenue which is up 21% YoY from organic search alone. Brilliant team, a dream to work with day to day and the results speak for themselves!Posted on Google Chris Donnelly I've worked with Verde Digital for many years, and before that, I worked with Joe in SEO, and they are one of the most innovative and effective agencies in the space. They don't simply have one answer to every question. They provide a bespoke, unique solution for every single one of their clients and fundamentally care about driving revenue.Posted on Google Matthew Newton Verde Digital is hands down one of the best SEO agencies out there! Joe and his team have been incredible to work with - professional, knowledgeable, and results-driven. Their expertise has had a huge impact with our online visibility, and we’ve seen a significant boost in traffic, rankings and sales. If you're currently looking for an SEO partner that truly understands your business and delivers real results, look no further. Highly recommend!Posted on Google Lily Thistlewood We onboarded Verde at the start of this financial year to manage our full end to end SEO strategy, including our expansion into new markets. Joe and his team have changed the game for us, over the past 7 months we have achieved incredible results, and this is only just the beginning! Joe is an asset to our business adding huge value to our ecom, digital and brand teams.Posted on Google Juliet Fallowfield Joe is an absolute star to work with - not only an expert in the field of SEO but polite, professional and brilliant to work with. Highly recommend!Posted on Google Jade Arnell We launched our brand L.A-Space, back in October, and as a new brand in a competitive market, we knew that building a solid SEO foundation was going to be vital in helping to increase our organic search terms and ultimately aid the success of the business. Joe has been invaluable to our business and the brand, working really hard in the background to lessen the reliance on people searching for L.A-Space related terms. We have found in a short space of time that a lot of our products have ranked higher on Google search terms than some leading brands in the industry. We’ve also been impressed by Joe’s overall knowledge and experience in the luxury fashion industry that he’s gained over his career, welcoming any advice he’s offered us that sits outside of the SEO field. It’s been a real pleasure to work with Joe, and I hope to see Verde continue to grow and contribute to the success of businesses in the same way it has with ours. Jade L.A-SpacePosted on Google Debut Studios Working with Joe was an absolute pleasure - a seamless experience and really happy with all the work he has conducted so far! A true professional and looking forward to future projects!
